Still I think we are in the early stages so really it is hard to know. I'm just glad with two very young ones at home that children seem to be relatively unaffected.

On a side note, Tom Hanks and his wife tested positive today.
Children who don't have respritroy problems like asthma. Children will be great vectors to have this transmitted to everyone in their classroom and then it goes home with them to siblings and parents.

And now the NBA has suspended the current season indefinitely. OMG
If you listen to the WHO, you would think we are going to become a teenage wasteland.

It's 10 times deadlier than the flu, 10 times as contagious and there is no vaccine? There's points A, B, C.

I agree that the "all going to die" is hysterics, and I'm not sure anyone is saying that. I'm in fort Wayne and there are already 5-6 cases, one from a vendor at the home and garden show where he perhaps saw thousands of people.

By the time you double every square of the chessboard, there are a great many sick and a great many dead. I would imagine that you and I will know many of them also.

MLB has cancelled spring training and is suspending the start of the season by at least 2 weeks.

I can tell you that is not true. This virus has killed healthy people. Right now Riley has several kids in their isolation ward. Kids with health issues, asthma, they are at risk.

The 7+ days of incubation is a major problem. Those with the virus can be spreading it for a week before they know they are infected. Shutting down places that have groups of people, is the best way to stop transmission.

Stay home. Wash your hands often and hope for the best. There isn't any way to completely seal yourself off, unless you are one of those Preppers hiding in bumfuck montana 50 miles from the nearest road.
